Is there a way I can force cyrus to use /dev/urandom instead of /dev/random?

Since the upgrade, I am getting a delayed response from my pop3d. I
have pop3 running on port 10110 and imap running on 10443 (as stated in
cyrus.conf). If I startup master and then do "telnet localhost 10110"
I get the usual telnet stuff about "connected to localhost" and "Escape
character" but instead of getting the usual "+OK hostname Cyrus POP3
v2.1.12 server ready ..." stuff it just sits there. The greeting
message does come up but it takes 5 minutes. After the greeting comes
up, the server works fine.
Imap appears to work fine. There is a split second delay that I don't remember being there but otherwise it is fine.
Run the strace/truss equivilant on the processes and see whats taking them
so long.
Offhand, it sounds like a /dev/random problem (not enough entropy), in which case the solution is to link /dev/urandom to /dev/random.
